MP Tom Brake calls on Boris Johnson to back night bus between Sutton and Croydon

Dear Sutton Guardian Why are you acting as an arm of a Lib Dem focus leaflet. You have even given Tom Brakes petition address so that he can Hoover up more email addresses from young people for the next elections. I thought you were meant to be balanced?

More to the point since when have people been "forced" to use illegal minivans? That would be kidnapping wouldn't it?

Well, there's good news on this: while Tom Brake was out collecting email addresses for his campaign, Boris has actually been getting things done - since before Christmas the 154 has been extended to run later at night. The last bus now leaves Croydon at 2am and there are also extra buses in the evening, so after 8pm there's now a 154 every 15 minutes. Tom Brake likes to imagine that he somehow made that happen, by asking us to give him our email addresses then sending a press release to the local paper. More likely it was our Conservative London Assembly Member, Steve O'Connell, who made sure the right people in City Hall and TfL looked at the Croydon-Sutton night bus problem so it could be sorted out. I suppose people can make their own mind up. I don't think Tom Brake is yet claiming credit for the sun in the sky and the birds in the trees, but it's probably just a matter of time...

Oh how I despair. Every time an election approaches Tom Brake wheels out the old Night Bus gag and the idiots of Carshalton and Wallington fall for it every time. It doesnt matter who got it extended or what he doesn't do, or how he goes back on his election promises (tuition fees) the lemmings will vote him back in, probably with an increased majority!!!! And i thought the weather was depressing

more to the point. TFL saying this section of the N213 was hardly used I still think people would commute from Kingston to Carshalton and Croydon on the N213. the 2am bus would have a been a N213 service pre 2009 when it was running. I was on the 2am 154 last night from Croydon and there was at least 10 people on that bus. this is only 2am if that was a hour later like 3am after the bars and night clubs kick out I would think it was have a bigger usage back towards Sutton. but it still proves a point to TFL that the later buses are being used and are not empty which they claimed the N213 journeys did not have much usage.
